COMPLAINTS about the Democratic
national administration are always in
order with the Republican papers.
The Philadelphia Press squeals be
cause Republican United States off
ers in Pennsylvania are discharged,
and says that Philadelphia has but
two important Offices filled by Republi-
cans, while there are only thirty Re
publican postmasters remaining in of
fce. Such is the case. But what OF
that. Supposing the Democrats had
been in power and republican presi-
dent had succeeded a democratic presi-
dent, would not every office in the
gift of the United States government
be filled by republicans in less than
two months ? The answer is obvi-
GUS. Every democratic official would
have to 60 instanter. We don't see
anything wrong about Democrats
holding Offices while they have a
chance to do SO.

In the usual rush of unfinished bus

which would increase the revenues of
the state by two millions of dollars
annually, by laying just tax on
